Definitions
- the present invention relates to the transport of an infusion solution bag, generally used in health care, along with the patient.
- an infusion bag is transported with a patient by a rolling wheels stand, a so-called the drip tray.
- the solution bag placed in the rack can be supplied to the patient's peripheral vessel e.g. nutrient solution, plasma, antibiotic solution etc.
- the problem in transporting the rolling wheels stand is that the stand aims to rotate about its vertical axis.
- the tube can rotate around the vertical rod, simultaneously blocking the free flow of the solution in the catheter. It is also difficult for the patient to move the stand over doorsteps and moving on stairways and, for example, entering a lift can be extremely difficult. Further, when moving with the stand in corridors, the wheels gather dirt and bacteria.
- a solution for transporting an infusion bag is a rack set onto the shoulders and a chamber structure.
- a drawback of the solution is that the rack is unstable, which has been aimed to be improved by connecting the rotary straps that wrap around a person's body. The straps, however, complicate putting the rack on the person.
- a significant advantage of the infusion solution holder according to the invention compared to the above-mentioned inventions is that the holder ( 1 ) is evenly distributed on both sides on the patient's shoulders, wherein carrying the holder ( 1 ) is balanced and safe.
- both hands of the patient are free for other purposes, such as opening doors, carrying and lifting goods.
- the patient can use, for example, crutches or a wheelchair while carrying the holder ( 1 ).
- FIG. 1 shows a principal drawing of an infusion bag with an embodiment of the infusion solution holder according to invention seen from above, and
- FIG. 2 show the sections A-A, B-B and C-C of the infusion bag according to FIG. 1 .
- the pressure infusion solution holder ( 1 ) has a collar ( 2 . 3 ) that is ergonomically designed to the shape of the shoulders and a suitably in connection with the collar ( 2 , 3 ) constructed solution tank ( 3 ) comprising the infusion solution and a pressure tank ( 2 ). Since the infusion solution tank ( 3 ) is located on the patient's shoulders and vertically close to the supply point to the vine, the tank ( 3 ) must have a sufficient pressure to have success for infusion. Therefore, the pressure tank ( 2 ) of the collar ( 2 . 3 ) is pressurized e.g. with compressed air, at which time pressure compresses the solution tank ( 3 ) and creates the necessary pressure for infusion.
- the pressure tank ( 2 ) of the collar ( 2 . 3 ) is pressurized e.g. with compressed air, at which time pressure compresses the solution tank ( 3 ) and creates the necessary pressure for infusion.
- pressurization is in this invention shown in the most cost-effective manner, i.e. pressure is pumped by a manual pressurization element ( 5 ) such as a ball pump. Pressurization can also for example be made by an electric pump. Pressurization element ( 5 ) is releasably connected to the pressure tank ( 2 ) by an adapter ( 4 ) and pressure is controlled by a pressure gauge ( 8 ).
- a manual pressurization element such as a ball pump. Pressurization can also for example be made by an electric pump.
- Pressurization element ( 5 ) is releasably connected to the pressure tank ( 2 ) by an adapter ( 4 ) and pressure is controlled by a pressure gauge ( 8 ).
- the pressurization element ( 5 ) does not necessarily need to be transported along with the patient.
- a pressure regulator ( 12 ), or along with it is used a seal ( 17 ), the breaking of which allows the overpressure of the container structure ( 11 ) to discharge to the pressure tank ( 2 ) in the same way as when using the pressure regulator ( 12 ).
- the section A-A in FIG. 2 discloses the seal ( 17 ) located between the pressure tank ( 2 ) and the container structure ( 11 ).
- the tubes are connected to connector/connectors, from where the infusion solution flows into the peripheral vein via e.g. a controller ( 18 ).
- a controller 18
- additional components such as pockets ( 10 ) and/or fittings, for example, for transporting antibiotic solution bags or for locating physiological measuring devices.
- Temperature of the solution can be maintained by a thermal element ( 7 ) located in the holder ( 1 ).
- the cross section C-C shows the thermal element ( 7 ) placed in the immediate vicinity of the solution tank ( 3 ) and it is hermetically separated from it.
- the thermal element ( 7 ) can also be located in different places but in such way that the effect of the thermal element on the solution in the solution tank ( 3 ) is sufficient.
- FIG. 2 in the section B-B the space ( 6 ) is positioned near the pressurized solution tank ( 3 ), but it can also be located in a different place, however, in such way that the pressure effect of the pressure tank ( 2 ) is conveyed into the infusion bag in the space ( 6 ).
- a separate infusion bag can be attached to the holder, instead of the space ( 6 ), also with a separate fastening element, such as adhesive tape or a mechanical fastening.
- the tank/tanks ( 3 ) are refillable e.g. through an inlet ( 15 ).
- the holder ( 1 ) of the infusion solutions can be positioned e.g. on the drip tray in a traditional hospital bed or on other similar fastening device.
- Putting the holder ( 1 ) on can be compared to e.g. putting on a cloth collar and that is why putting the holder on is relatively easy for persons of all ages.
